So yet more evidence comes out about how shoddy Microsoft can be.
I don't know what they have done but they shouldn't be treating the people who are developing exclusives for them badly.
We can see that all the "friendly" pr they have tried to show over the last couple of years is just a false front. Behind the scenes they are the same old Microsoft.
@septic.
I knew you would be quick to defend ms. No i don...
@Gangsta.
Like a typical xbox fanboy you have chosen to pick the part of my comment that suits your argument.
You ignored the crucial part where I said. More importantly they are co developing bloodborne and SFV. So it isn't "Just" money.
Microsoft aren't developing TR at all. It was multiplatform at E3 2014.
Anybody denying Microsoft paid square are deluding themselves
Bloodborne and SFV where being co funded and more importantly co developed by sony. So no it clearly wasn't just money.
Microsoft aren't developing the game.
"Apparently they did and you can say it was money hatted or whatever but guess what your just speculating and guessing cause no one ever know what really went on to create this deal."
Are you really saying to me that Microsoft paid no money to Square for the timed exclu...
Behind all this talk and spin we know what happened.
Square and Crystal dynamics didn't choose to cut off the platform in which 2/3's of the last game made it's sales because of Microsofts "Passion".
It was because of money. Plain and Simple.
This game doesn't look a whole lot different from the first game. It is a sequel after all. So what has Microsoft added exactly?
@Direwolf.
Where did I disagree? If you look at my comment you will see I was agreeing with the article.
Learn to read.
There is a lot in the article that I do agree with.
The xbone is a bit of a huge brick.
The PS4 controller is much superior to the xbone controller just like the article says.
And the xbone dashboard is a cluttered mess where the PS4 UI is slick and fast.
If you did your research. You would know that it was available for pre order on PS4 after the announcement.
That sure seems like it was multi platform to me.
It wasn't successful yet 2/3's of the sales came from playstation.
By the time it was an exclusive. It was already well into development so they didn't "need" microsofts money. MS just money hatted. That is all their contribution.
They make quick de...
You seem to be defending against everyone's points hard.
How many times do you need to be told the tombraider and street fighter deals are totally different.
For the last time. Street fighter V could not be made with out sony. Capcom stated themselves years ago they didn't have the funds for another Street fighter. Sony are co funding and more importantly co developing the game.
All the PR speak about Microsoft being "passionate&...
"Of all of the surprises we saw during E3 2014, perhaps one of the biggest ones was the announcement of Rise of the Tomb Raider and the fact that it would be an Xbox One exclusive"
No. It was multiplatform at E3 2014. Then Microsoft came along and paid for exclusion.
@XBLSKULL
Translated. I'm a salty xbox fanboy who hates on this game because it isn't coming to xbone at the same time as PS4
@ballseye
Wither 3 runs at the same resolution?
There is nothing worse than a misinformed xbox fanboy trying to make a point.
I think that some are so delusional that they truly believe the things they say.
And how many times do you need to be told that the difference between 900p and 1080p is nearly 50%
Facts and xbox fanboys do not mix.
@u4one.
You are completely wrong about that. All the freeing up the kinnect reserve does is allow it to use more of it's potential. It doesn't increase the hardware.
Xbone was 1.26tf. Then they over clocked the CPU which brought it to 1.31
There is nothing that "balances" the two hardware.
Xbones' cpu is slightly clocked higher. PS4's gpu is much stronger and is built for gpu compute which will alleviate the workload on the cpu when it starts to be used.
Xbone is a 1.31 TF machine. PS4 is 1.84tf. The numbers don't lie and neither do all the games which run significantly better.
The worst thing about the n4g outage is sad trolls like this getting extra bubbles. His comment history is a disgrace.
I'll never understand why he hasn't been banned ages ago.
"only demo was called Pt"
You mean "playable teaser" wasn't the name of the actual game? Get outta here /s
Will backwards compatibility see the xbone become the go to console?
The short and correct answer is NO.
Backwards compatibility is 2 years to late. It would have been a factor at launch.
Now people want to move on. Most people have bought the true next gen console which is the PS4.
What a joke article. The ms defenders are rallying.
This article tries to use percentages to make it's point.
The only reason xbone has a higher sales percentage increase is because it's sales last year where abysmal. PS4 sales have always been stellar and steady.
If xbones sales go from abysmal to poor that will show a percentage spike. It means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
They may have first party games but barely anything new.
Everything is just milking franchises. Halo, gears, forza.
The only new ip Microsoft are developing is the one from rare games. I can't think of another new ip from ms.
This is absolutely spot on. I'm tired of telling people how the SFV and tombraider deals are totally different.
Lets also remember that Microsoft actually lied and claimed that Tombraider was a full exclusive after the announcement.
It's only when everything was getting out of control that phil admitted it was timed about a week later.
MS tried there best to deceive everybody.
Out of all the games you have listed MS are only developing sea of thieves.
